“Nothing could be more revealing of the GOP's fragility,” says Tennessee State @SenatorLamar + @PeopleFor’s @SvanteMyrick. “The young lawmakers will be back, and behind them will be an entire cohort of passionate young progressives.” https://t.co/k7HZlwwGPA

“We write to emphasize that the House must not now compound its errors by taking any further retributive actions against Reps Jones and Pearson or their constituents in violation of Article II of the Tennessee Constitution…” - @EricHolder ✊🏾💪🏾
It’s been the honor of my life to serve District 86 as their State House Representative. I want nothing more than to serve again & I’m thankful that Scott Crosby @burchporter is representing us alongside @brotherjones_ & @EricHolder. May we continue to build this Movement! #TN3
.@CSexton25 + @TNGOP have no idea the sleeping giant they’ve awakened with their brazen attack on democracy. Communities across #Tennessee + allies across 🇺🇸 are determined to win.
Not only will we reseat @Justinjpearson + @brotherjones_— we’re going to send more just like them.
We came to Tenneseee to help the Justins get reinstated.
We are staying in Tennesee because the voting system is broken, and thousands of our members are going to help change it.
